GOP’s Obamacare Replacement

Our morning Round Up begins with President Trump’s move to replace “Obamacare.” Some unanswered questions remain about exactly what stay, what will go.

The latest draft, dated February 24, still includes a plan to phase out the ACA’s Medicaid expansion. Instead, the program’s current open ended federal entitlement would be replaced by capped payments based on the number of Medicaid enrollees.

Meantime, the GOP has been accused of playing “hide and seek” with the ACA repeal bill. Democrats and some Republicans are upset that no one has seen a copy of the legislation that would affect the lives of millions of Americans.
